Two cherubic figures stand cast in fine relief, one reaching for the other, a small floral detail rising between them — a figural take on the Gemini twins rather than a literal symbol. The sculptural depth here is unusual for costume zodiac jewelry, closer to a miniature bronze than a stamped charm. Strung on a fine silver-tone cable chain, worn as easily by a Gemini as by anyone drawn to the imagery.
